I can't remember the name of the book, pretty sure it was some NY times bestselling lib pop-poli slop. But it made the argument that somewhere around the 60's or 70's the South's? Christianity, and it's view of man being custodians of the earth, butt heads with capitalism. And capitalist forces won. Ever since then the environment has basically been abandoned to the left.
